We are "the bands of Seymour" — three unique variety cover bands based in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A. Two of our members were founders of Portland's original Seymour band who gigged around town in 1970-71. That band was freeze-dried in '72 and reconstituted in '91... and we've been at it ever since. The "core members" appearing in all three groups are:
Carlee, JD and Frogz (with custom-programmed rhythm backup) offer you the most compact and economical combo, which we call the Seymour Express Trio with Carlee Smith.
The Trio can also be expanded to a five-piece band. Depending on the musicians' schedules and your requirements, this can either be the Seymour Express Quintet (Bill Chapman, drums – Miles Stanton, bass) or the "classic pre-COVID lineup" of Seymour & Smith (Jim Badenoch, drums – Tim McCarthy, bass).
Each ensemble brings its own unique flavor. Talk to us about your requirements and we'll put together the perfect show for your gig.
